Colored Text (logo) Watermark - Word 2003
We now have a color laser printer and want to print our letterheads using our
"traditional" dark blue text with a light blue logo as a watermark. We have a blue line drawing "logo" set up as 100% saturation (in Illustrator) and saved as Logo.jpg that we want to use as a watermark. If we create the watermark WITHOUT washout, the watermark is solid, intrusive and unacceptable. If we create the watermark WITH washout, the watermark is faintly there, almost invisible and unusable. I suppose the question is, how do I make the washedout watermark slightly more intense? -- Ashpoint |

You're better off approaching this in Illustrator (or any graphics app)
rather than Word. Trial and error is usually the quickest method: create a set of files spanning a range of settings -- experiment with HSB and with contrast -- until you home in on settings that work. Also try GIF rather than JPG. "Ashpoint" wrote in message ...

View | Header and Footer. Click on the logo, which will display the Picture
toolbar, and choose Format Picture. On the Picture tab, adjust the brightness and contrast to give the desired result (or use the toolbar controls for brightness and contrast). In a test here, "Washout" sets the picture to 85% brightness and 15'% contrast (instead of the default 50% for each), so perhaps less brightness and more contrast will give a better effect. -- Suzanne S.

That did it Suzanne. The trick was to understand that the watermark is in
the Header/Footer. Best regards, Michael -- Ashpoint "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: View | Header and Footer. Click on the logo, which will display the Picture toolbar, and choose Format Picture.

Yes, a watermark is just a graphic anchored to the header and sent behind
text. The Format | Background | Printed Watermark command in Word 2002/2003 makes it much easier to insert a watermark but obscures its nature, making it more difficult for most users to edit or remove watermarks. -- Suzanne S.
